Who is going to do the work that all of those fossil fuel consuming machines and methodologies do? If we want to phase out fossil fuels (and we all three do, I think, yes?), then we might want to hang a now hiring sign out right now and get a headstart on manpower. Alternative methodologies are, as a rule..labor and management intensive.

As far as agriculture is concerned, we need to apply permaculture methods on a much larger scale. Those include no-till farming, which cuts down on burning fossil fuels for both tilling and fertilizers, and helps sequester carbon to boot. I'm not sure whether such methods require more labor. I had assumed they were "working smarter, not harder."
